Saxons

The Saxons were a Germanic tribe that inhabited Denmark, northern Germany, and the coasts of the Netherlands and Belgium during the Dark Ages. The Saxons were known for their maritime raids, as well as for their overland expansion against the Franks. During the 5th century, the Saxons invaded Roman Britain with the Angles and Jutes, and the Saxons would assimilate the Angles and Jutes to create the "Anglo-Saxon" culture. The Saxons would help in the establishment of present-day England, while the Saxons back on continental Europe would settle in the Saxony and Lower Saxony regions.
